This roundtable will examine the deployment challenges operators face as they virtualise their network functions.
First, we’ll explore which areas are being virtualised earliest – is it virtualised VoLTE or virtualised customer premise equipment deployments that are leading the way? We’ll assess which is riskier and how communications service providers (CSPs) are addressing the challenges associated with NFV deployment?
Next, we’ll assess the approaches being taken to preparing for NFV and, ultimately, bringing it to market. We’ll explore whether pre-integrated platforms are essential and how organisations can prepare culturally for the shift from network-oriented to IT-oriented technology?
Finally, we’ll examine how operators will manage complex service chains over virtualised and hybrid virtual/physical networks. We’ll discuss the orchestration challenge, what orchestration technologies and solutions are available and how they are being trialled and deployed.
